Default colour depth for textures

Use this option to determine whether textures of a specific color depth should be used by default in OpenGL applications:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buffer flipping mode

Use this option to determine the mode of buffer flipping for full-screen OpenGL applications. The Auto-select setting means that the drivers will automatically select the optimal method based on your hardware.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vertical sync

Vertical sync limits the number of frames/sec to the monitor refresh rate. This option allows you to specify whether vertical sync is used in OpenGL applications.

Vsync should never be enabled for performance testing as it decreases the number of frames per second displayed by the graphics board to match monitor capacity. Some games nevertheless require Vsync to be enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Customized configuration

You may prefer certain configurations depending on the game you are playing. This panel allows you to save your favorite configurations and reapply them instantly at a later time. To do this, simply define the parameters you wish to save and click on Save As... to access the following dialog box.

Enter a name for your new configuration and click on OK. These settings will then be listed in the Custom OpenGL settings selection box. If you wish to remove a setting from the list, select it and click on Delete.

To reapply these presets at a later time, refer to the section QuickTweak.
